MANCHESTER, Dec. ae.-The Gudrdtdn says:
The market was firm, and prices unaltered.
The demand was poor, and business tritiing.
The inquiry from Eastern markets has fallen of
decidedly, and as producers with cheaply
bought raw material, are becoming rarer, mer-
chants find a difficulty in placing even the re-
duced orders they have in hand. Manufacturers
complain strongly of the narrownesS of margins
Of
at prices sufficient 10 cover the recent advance
in yarns. AS the latter are very firm, manufac-
turers prospects are not bright. Meanwhile
the strong appearance of cotton is encouraging
spinners to hold out for extreme rates, even
where not compelled by their position regard
ing contracts Little has been done in export
yarns departments. Spinners refuse all offers
below Fridays full rates. The demand is light
all round. Heavy cloths are quiet, but prices
are slightly hardening"

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures SAYS:
The market has been pretty active. and the
ordinary monotony was broken by sharp and
unexpected fluctuations, but in the end there
was no evidence that new interests had come.
and most of the dealing was local. At the out
set matters looked strong with 3d4 points gain
secured, when a rumor was spread that the
German Emperor had suddenly died. This sent
the market off on perpendicular drop of about
II points, when contradiction of the rumor
brought prompt reaction, and at the close
rates stood just about the same as last evening,
with the tone steady early sellers having mani
tested considerable anxiety to get back sales on
the short line. Notwithstanding the denial of
t e Emperors death. however, there was con-
siderable apprehension of foreign news espe-
cialy dispatches reporting heavy failures in
Russia, and consequent depression of financial
exchln ges."
